Mga Tala Sa Kultura

One of the most popular means of transportation in the Philippines is the jeepney.
Originally made from surplus army vehicles used in World War II, it has in recent
years taken on more modern looks from local manufacturers; been built using
secondhand Japanese trucks; and even become more green-friendly by using
alternative fuel, such as electricity. A jeepney can seat between fourteen to sixteen
passengers.
What the jeepney is especially known for, however, is its decoration, which
ranges from miniature horses perched on top of hoods, to vibrantly-colored
paintings of cartoon characters or the children of the jeepney owner, to elaborately
written names or sayings. Occasionally, you may even see religious figurines found

near the driver’s seat.
Thus, the jeepney is a bearer of “street art,” accessible to the masses whether
they ride the jeepney or whether they simply enjoy seeing its humor and colorful
designs.
